Robert Alexander (1840 - 1923) was active/lived in United Kingdom.  Robert Alexander is known for Animal painting (dogs, horses).

Robert Alexander was born in Kilwinning, Ayrshire, in southwest Scotland.  He was apprenticed to a Kilmarnock house painter who also painted landscapes, and was compelled to work as a house-painter in order to make a living.  In his spare time, Alexander painted pictures, but was only able to turn to art professionally in his late twenties, when he began painting dogs and horses.
